The Women's Suffrage Movement was a social and political campaign aimed at granting women the right to vote. It began in the mid-19th century, with activists advocating for equal voting rights alongside men. Key figures included Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who organized events and lobbied for legislative changes. The movement gained momentum in the early 20th century, leading to significant milestones such as the 19th Amendment in the United States, ratified in 1920. This amendment granted women the legal right to vote, marking a major victory for the suffragists and paving the way for future advancements in women's rights.
